Last Friday, Toombs County and Swainsboro were almost perfectly matched up, but Toombs County suffered an agonizing 20-21 defeat. Despite the defeat, Toombs County saw an underclassman step up: Sophomore Derrick Mincey rushed for 71 yards and 2 touchdowns on 13 carries. Mincey has now scored at least one touchdown in the past three games.
Meanwhile, if there were any doubts about the heavy odds in favor of Dodge County coming into their matchup against Bleckley County two weeks ago, the squad laid those doubts to rest. Dodge County put the hurt on Bleckley County with a sharp 35-7 win. That 28-point margin sets a new personal best for Dodge County on the season.

Carr rushed for 130 yards and 1 touchdown on 12 carries and sophomore Mikhail Carr rushed for 94 yards and 1 touchdown on 5 carries.
